Hi friends,
Sorry I have been so absent lately! My move has gone remarkably smoothly so far, and my little babe travels like a dream. Thanks so much for all your well wishes! Southern California is a very lovely place, and while I am missing New York City something dreadful, I am sure I will grow to love it here too.
All of my crafty belongings are in a truck somewhere in the country, so I am on a brief crafting-hiatus. In the meantime, I am baking and reading excellent books (maybe I should share some recipes and recommendations?). In anticipation of this, I saved up a few projects from recent months to share now (yep, I've been holding out on you).
First up, a new version of the fabric bucket:
I jumbo-sized the fabric bucket tutorial from RicRac (this thing has endless variations). The bottom is 12 inches in diameter and the side piece is 18 inches tall, 42 inches wide.I recycled some of my husbands old jeans for the fabric and added pockets on the outside for extra storage. The inside is lined with soft flannel.
I love it because it holds all of Oscar's toys, and Oscar loves it because he can dump it, sit on it, roll on it ... and I don't pull him away like with the old wicker toy basket.
Exciting stuff to come soon!
